<p>It depends on what type of class you’re taking. For example I’m a science major so I have had to do homework essentially every day, however if you are a history of english major most of the assignments are longer essays so there are less of them. I could usually coast in high school even most of the AP classes and I do have to say that Umass academically is a lot harder. It might be a trait that’s shared across colleges but theres no question that Umass is going to require more work. Of course college is so different than high school in the sense that you live at your school so even though you have more work, you still have a ton of free time to hang out with your friends, volunteer and join one of the activities on campus</p>
